Participants

Reaction Steps

In a screw-top glass container, in each case 5 mMol of glycidol (370 mg) were agitated with 10 or 50 mMol of methyl acrylate, 50 mg of Novozym® 435 (supported lipase from Candida antarctica B, from Novozymes, Denmark), 5.0 ml of MTBE (tert-butyl methyl ether) and, in some cases, 1.0 g of 5 Å molecular sieve at 20 or 40° C. for 24 h. Thereafter, the enzyme was filtered off and the excess of methyl acrylate was removed on a rotary evaporator. A colorless acrylate was obtained.
